SFL Corporation Ltd. (“SFL” or the “Company”) announced preliminary results for the quarter ended September 30, 2025, alongside its 87th consecutive quarterly cash dividend. The Board declared a dividend of $0.20 per share, payable on or about December 29, 2025, with a record/ex‑dividend date of December 12 on the NYSE. Key financial highlights include: Total operating revenues of $178 million, with approximately 86% derived from charter hire in shipping and 14% from energy. Adjusted EBITDA of $113 million, which includes $8 million contribution from associated companies. Net income of $8.6 million, or $0.07 per share. SFL’s CEO, Ole B. Hjertaker, emphasized the company’s focus on long‑term chartered assets, stating that SFL has invested nearly $100 million in fuel‑efficiency and cargo‑optimization upgrades so far, adding roughly $1.2 billion to its fixed‑rate charter backlog. The total backlog stands at approximately $4 billion, providing dependable cash‑flow visibility and supporting the company’s dividend‑distribution capacity. The company noted continuous fleet optimisation, including the sale of older dry‑bulk and container vessels, and efficiency upgrades across modern vessels—while all assets (except the legacy drilling rig “Hercules”) are on profitable charters with high utilisation. The company remains optimistic about securing employment for Hercules in the coming year and pursuing strategic value‑unlocking opportunities. #SFLQ32025 #MaritimeInfrastructure #ShippingDividend #FleetOptimization #SlimScan #GrowthStocks #CANSLIM
